Who’s TTC a Christmas Baby. March 2018

Not that I specifically want a Christmas baby. But my LMP was the 20th March so that means, going by a 28 day cycle, if I fell pregnant this month, Baby’s ‘estimated’ due date would be Christmas Day!!!!!!!!

It’s the first month that I’ve felt ready to start trying again after a miscarriage and my cycles haven’t been completely regular.
Ranging from 27 - 30 days. So I’m using OPK’s and Temping to try and pinpoint ovulation.

Should be ovulating within the next 4 days.

Anyone else actively trying this week?
Let’s make this a ‘LIVE’ 2WW thread.
I’m 30, and trying for #1

@PickettBowtruckles
I am 3+5 today too. So we’re exactly the same. Will be interesting to see how are due dates compare after a dating scan though.
@Cakelaur
I’m sorry I know it’s not funny because it obviously caused you distress but I did chuckle. You do know that the chances of you actually using your beautiful puppy as a fly swat is very unlikely 😃
I know the feeling though. I’ve always had really vivid dreams but mine have become even worse this last week and some of them really leave me feeling odd x

@cakelaur omg! Can imagine that was horrifying! I know it isn't funny, but, it's so bizarre it's almost funny, if you get what I mean! Mine are ranging from weird stuff to mundane dreams about work and stuff, but so weirdly clear and vivid!
@pickettbowtruckles ha ha, I've been doing the bood prodding thing as well. Mine are, erm, fuller but refusing to get sore, other than the odd mild twinge from me whacking them 😂😂

Cakelaur · 17/04/2018 08:33

@Athers666 I've had two nights in a row where I'm distraught in my dreams! I wake up because I'm crying so hard in my dream. Last night it was cos I took a deformed puppy and used it to swat a fly and broke its neck.... I mean WTF!!! We've just got a new puppy so obviously there's some anxiety deep down about me hurting him or something!!! 🙈 the night before was cos they were auctioning puppies and I didn't get the one I wanted!! 😂🤣

PickettBowtruckles · 17/04/2018 08:01

@MagicaCreatures I’ve just realised I was reading yours and @Stephisaur’s posts as the same people which is why I was so confused 😂 I’m 3+5 today so we’re almost exactly the same!

MagicalCreatures · 17/04/2018 07:11

@PickettBowtruckles
Haha no I’m the one that made it confusing. I meant that my LMP was the 20th March which dates me at 3+6 but I have a 30 day cycle and I ovulate on cd 17 which gives me a due date of 2 days later so really I’m 3+4.
Sorry Hun. 😃

PickettBowtruckles · 17/04/2018 06:19

@MagicalCreatures sorry I don’t think I explained myself well there, forgot I’d not been on these boards before 😂 My LMP was 9th March and based on that day I think I’m about the same as you, however my cycles have been all over the place since coming off birth control in September (100 day cycle at one point!). I was using OPKs and didn’t ovulate until about 31 days into the cycle so although my GP dates me from last period I think I’m actually 2 weeks behind that due to late ovulation which makes me almost 4 weeks not almost 6.

(I hope that makes sense and I haven’t just made it sound even more confusing 😂)

@Athers666 I’ve not had any vivid dreams yet but the last few nights I have woken about 4 and really struggled to get back to sleep! I’m not sure that’s a pregnancy thing so much as me waking up and not being able to sleep cause I’m so worried thing 🤦🏻‍♀️ I agree about the boob pain and sickness! I know it’s still early for me to have any of that but doesn’t stop me repeatedly prodding my boobs hoping they’ll hurt or hoping to wake up nauseous!

Athers666 · 17/04/2018 05:25

Hey to everyone! Let's hope we all have sticky beans! Is anyone else having really vivid dreams every night? Mine are really freaky, keep waking up all confused! I think I'll be 5 weeks in a few days, my first DR appointment is on Wed, I'm feeling so super stressed out which I know isn't good but I just can't allow myself to relax and enjoy it. I still have no boob pain or sickness which is making me terrified!

MagicalCreatures · 16/04/2018 23:11

PickettBowtruckles
I’m 3 weeks 4 days too going by the day I ovulated. 3 weeks 6 from my LMP x

Congrats @PickettBowtruckles amazing news.

PickettBowtruckles · 16/04/2018 21:59

Based on positive OPKs and temp rise I think I know my conception date and using that my Ovia pregnancy app is telling me I’m 3 weeks and 4 days so still super early for me 😬

Omg I am doing exactly the same! DH is also trying to reassure but I’m pretty sure he must think I’m a bit mad 🤦🏻‍♀️

Stephisaur · 16/04/2018 21:45

I’m pretty certain that I’m 5 weeks tomorrow :)

Literally every time I go to the toilet I assume I’m going to see AF 🙈

DH is trying to be understanding but he is struggling 😂

PickettBowtruckles · 16/04/2018 21:27

@Stephisaur I’m not glad you had a bad day yesterday but I am soooo pleased it’s not just me being crazy anxious! I tried to explain it to DH as there’s something very weird when you’ve had BFP but feel like you’re about to start your period!

How far are you roughly?

Stephisaur · 16/04/2018 21:22

Pickett you should have seen me yesterday 😂 I was an absolute state. I’ve always had bad cramps though so just assuming my body hates me 😂

PickettBowtruckles · 16/04/2018 20:45

@Stephisaur that’s good to know! So it’s clearly is a ‘real’ symptom! I’m just so anxious and didn’t expect to be.

Stephisaur · 16/04/2018 19:08

Pickett - I’ve had cramps since 6dpo. Unless I start bleeding I’m just ignoring them 😂

MagicalCreatures · 16/04/2018 18:06

It is normal. I had them in my last pregnancy just before and soon after I got my BFP (which although ended in miscarriage) had nothing to do with that.
I’ve got them this time too and a lot of people on mumsnet complain of having mild cramps and it turns out fine x

PickettBowtruckles · 16/04/2018 17:19

@MagicalCreatures thank you! It really hasn’t sunk in properly yet! I’m having some mild cramps which is making me anxious but google says it’s normal so trying to calm down Blush

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

This is such a lucky thread! I’m keeping my fingers (and my legs to keep the eggy in) crossed for everyone still waiting - countdown to test Tminus6 days. I have a very sick three year old to take my mind off the wait mind you.

Monopo1y · 16/04/2018 06:24

I had lots of pain last month and felt sad so fingers crossed next month will be your month!! Saturday could be the date used when working out how far gone you are!! xxx

Nillynally · 15/04/2018 23:03

Congratulations everybody!! It really is a lucky thread! I really am out for definite now, AF came with a vengeance Saturday afternoon and I've been struggling ever since, the pain is terrible which isn't like me. Good luck everyone! Xx

Cakelaur · 15/04/2018 22:38

@Knittinggurl I had Spotting at 7dpo which I thought was IB. Then had spotting at 12dpo and 13dpo which I assumed was AF. Then two days later at 15dpo BFP!!

Stephisaur · 15/04/2018 22:33

@knittinggurl I read that it’s 4-5 days after implantation for your HCG to get to test levels xx

MagicalCreatures · 15/04/2018 22:12

@PickettBowtruckles good luck. Let us know and post a pic of the test if you can. Love to see a good positive 😃
